onto new stuff....

Things for this necklace came from AlchemyShop. All vintage found items
that i paired off with a Monroe piercing jewelry with a baby blue jewel
and a tiny animal jaw with teeth. Can't remember where that one came
from. Been waiting for the right piece to use it with.

For the ring, I had a bunch of bit of druzy and specimens laying around
that can't really be used with a bezel and i didn't want to use resin
again.

So i used a technique Fanci has used in her work(epoxy putty). And then i gold leafed the piece to give it more colour. This is an adjustable ring. The ring bands are sterling silver and the rest is brass with a variety of gemstone chunks and specimens.

This druzy was such a weird shape to set in a bezel. I could always make my own bezel cups to accommodate, but I needed thin enough metal sheet and the thinnest is 24ga i think. Doesn't work that well. Copper and brass don't solder well with the kind of torch i use because they conduct heat differently and the whole piece has to heat up for the solder to melt. Uhhh...yeah went a little bit into too much detail there...

i LOVE druzys!

The "Chrysocolla is a hydrated coppersilicatemineral"..."It is of secondary origin and forms in the oxidation zones of copper ore bodies."......according to wikipedia. Umm yeah...in case you needed to know that lol
